OverviewAI-generated summary
Habeeb Yinka Atanda's research focuses on plant pathology and diagnostics, particularly in the identification and characterization of plant viruses and fungal diseases. His work involves developing and advancing diagnostic tools, including artificial positive controls and CRISPR-based detection methods for plant viruses. Atanda has investigated the incidence of fungal diseases in African Yam Bean in Nigeria and the detection of cucumber mosaic virus in passion fruit. He has also contributed to identifying a novel orthotospovirus infecting cucurbits in the United States. A key area of his work explores methods to overcome barriers in transferring infectious clones to woody plants, utilizing dodder as a facilitator. His collaborations include extensive work with Ioannis Tzanetakis at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
